Method

Preparation

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

2

Add Wet Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and vegetable oil. Mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together.

3

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

4

Rest the Dough

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Cooking

5

Divide the Dough

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

6

Roll Out the Tortillas

On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches in diameter.

7

Cook the Tortillas

Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 30-60 seconds on each side, or until they are lightly browned and cooked through.

8

Keep Warm

Place the cooked tortillas in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining tortillas.
